I doubt it... i'm running 5.5 inch rims with a bad offset on the back (so the guard lip has been rolled) if the offset was better (in more) they might fit without rolling the guard, but you wouldn't be able to go much wider.
I imagine 15x6 would be near the limit width wise.. without seriously modifying the guards
